      You might want to try adding a cloud shadow on the hills behind the houses. I think that would really make the building pop.

        Nice render, a bit too clean for my taste though . I tried to change it a bit (in better I hope) by adjusting the color balance and adding a dirt map over the entire building and alleys . I hope you don't mind too much !

          the main issue it's too CG..
          you need better textures (arroway for example); additionally you should take a look at what Richdirt plugin does.

                  Thanks, Rich. Neat tool, but I only use Thea for rendering.

                    Karl,

                    I always hate commenting on something I'm not even close to being able to do myself, but what I've seen in your render, and others, is the use of a real sky mixed in with the other non-photo real elements. Any way to make the sky detail consistent with the rest of the render? Thoughts?

                    Anyway, I think it looks great otherwise.

                      There doesn't appear to be an SU version...?

                          Looks much better... πŸ‘
                          What render app. have you been using...?

                          Side note...
                          Where are you from...?
                          Karl Larsen sounds very Danish, but the building doesn't look Scandinavian at all...

                          Cheers

                            With proper texturing, you can achieve similar results using Thea Render... πŸ˜„
                            This is also achievable using procedurals...

                              Much better! I noticed you changed the lighting direction, among other things.

                              That seems to have made a big difference.
